PSU Skiers named to New Hampshire Senior State Team

Dec 15, 2005

PLYMOUTH, N.H. - Four Plymouth State University
skiers have been recognized for their accomplishments on the slopes
with selection to the 2005-06 New Hampshire Alpine Racing
Association's Senior State Team.

Seniors Topher Harlow (North Conway, N.H.) and
Chad Demetry (Francestown, N.H.) and sophomores
Jason Hey (Northboro, Mass.) and Melissa
Caflisch (Clymer, N.Y./Northwood School) represent the
Panthers on the 19-member team (12 men, 7 women). The team includes
the top ski racers in the state, based on the United State Ski
Association's point system after last year's races.

The NHARA State Team, which has been named each year since 1973,
recognizes the outstanding racers in New Hampshire and supports ski
racing in the state. Team members are recognized with entry into
all NHARA races and complimentary skiing at all Granite State ski
areas.

The four Panthers are also the top skiers on what should be
another exciting season for the Plymouth State ski team. PSU is
coming off a strong campaign last winter, when the men tied for
second at the Eastern Regional Championships and placed sixth at
the US Collegiate Ski Association's National Championships, while
the women were fourth at the regionals and 11th at the nationals.

The Plymouth State ski team is under the direction of 19th-year
head coach Kim Bownes and 11th-year assistant
coach Dave Gyger.
